Race is a social construct and therefore a political opinion. The scientific fact is that race does not exist.
"Today, the mainstream belief among scientists is that race is a social construct without biological meaning."
"What the study of complete genomes from different parts of the world has shown is that even between Africa and Europe, for example, there is not a single absolute genetic difference"

Differences between people exist, of course, but they don't map neatly to any concept of race.
